r 7 .1 • nA‘ir '0 D E f 4 e_y _ \ IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair this evening at the usual hour. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. Colonel SIBTHORPE wished to ask a question re lative to the Great Northern Railway, on which the House had come to a decision last night. He thought when the Noble Lord brought forward the question, he ( Colo nel S.) had settled the line proposed by Mr. Gibbs, but he found this gentleman appeared before the Committee this mor ning, claiming to be heard as a party bringing forward aline in the next Session of Parliament. It appeared, however, instead of killing the snake, he only scotched him—that he was not killed, only kill.—(Laughter.) He wished for Ithe opinion of the Speaker, whether or not Mr. Gibbs had a right to be heard before the Committee. If so, any individual might come be lore them, and certainly if one dead man must be heard, any living man had an equal right to be attended to. Mr. WARD, as Chairman of the Committee, begged to say that they acted on the belief that the meaning of the sixth resolution was to give the public the benefit of knowing the merits of every line, whether before or intended hereafter to be brought before Parliament, but with the dis tinct understanding that Mr. Gibbs could not expect any Legislative sanction for his plan in the present session of Par-, liament. The SPEAKER sad the meaning of the 6th resolution evidently was to give the public the benefit of knowing the merits of every intended line of Railway. Mr. JEPH SON begged to ask for information-sake, whe ther a Committee was not bound by the six resolutions of the House to report on any line of Railway, the plans of which were submitted to them, in accordance with the regulations laid down. The SPEAKER said that questions of this nature ought to be left, in a great measure, to the discretion of the Corn mittee. BRITISH ALKALI COMPANY.

The LORD ADVOCATE moved the second reading of the Leith and Newhaven Harbour Bill. Lord. C. CLEMENTS moved the second reading of the Dublin and Drogheda Railway Bill.—Ordered to be corn mitted.

Mr. GILLON presented a petition from Thomas Chapman, a prisoner in the gaol of Edinburgh, complaining of the pres sure of the Annuity-tax, and praying the House to in terfere to procure his release. it was, he said, an instance of clerical rapacity and tyranny seldom brought un der the view of Hon. Gentlemen. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had a petition to present on the same subject; he might perhaps as well take that op portunity of doing so. Mr. GILLON intimated that he had not concluded, and was proceeding when, Sir G. CLERK rose to order. After a few words from the SPEAKER, Mr. GILLON hoped that this attempt to stifle the cries of the victims of oppression.would not be successful. He applied to the House on behalf of Mr. Chapman, who had been most unjustly deprived of his liberty. The SPEAKER suggested, that in conformity with what appeared to be the opinion of the House, the Hon. Member should then present his petition, and give notice of a motion on the subject. (LEFT SITTING.) DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE (THIS DAY.) The Committee did not meet this day until one o'clock. Mr. AUSTEN proposed to strike off the vote of Joseph Asley Newell, an attorney, who acted as Inspector, and voted for West and Hamilton at the election. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Murphy that the voter acted as inspector in the booth W. E. for Went and Hamilton, and by the testimony of Mr. Seton, that Newell had declared to him during the election that he would not act unless he were paid, and that he had a letter promising payment. The voter himself was examined before the Commissioners, and admitted he had voted, but declined to answer the questions put to him as to his having been paid or promised payment. Mr. AUSTEN drew the attention of the Committee to the Act which disqualifies all agents, inspectors, &c., who shall receive any money or promise, in consideration of his acting in such a capacity. He quoted a decision in the New Windsor case, where it was held that an implied promise, such as was given in the instance before the Committee invalidated the voter. Mr. WRANGHAM replied, contending there was not such evidence before the Committee as could disfranchise the'voter. The COMMITTEE, after a few moments' deliberation, re solved " that the vote of Joseph Asley Newell must be struck off the poll." LIVERPOOL CO MARKET, APRIL 25.

The extraordinary and dang e rous surgical operation of amputating the leg at the hip joint has been performed at the Middlesex Hospital, by Mr. Mayo, upon a young woman named Mary Allen. The sufferer was admitted into the hos pital about twelve months since with a fractured leg, and thrte amputations of the limb had taken place.

In the House of Lords last night, on the Order of the Day for the commital of the Irish Corporations Bill being read, Lord FITZGERALD moved, " That it be an instruc tion to the Committee that they have power to make pro vision for the abolition of such Corporations, and for such arrangements as may be necessary, on their abolition, for securing the efficient and impartial administration of jus tice, and the peace and good government of cities and towns in Ireland." This motion was agreed to by a majo rity of 84—a clear proof that the organ of Destructive ness is to be found in its fullest developement in the skull of an aristocratic Conservative. Lord FITZGERALD, who brought forward the question, talked learnedly about the dangers of treating Ireland otherwise than in the true spirit of Tory disrespect ; but was replied to by the Lord CHANCELLOR in one of those calm, argumentative, and luminous speeches which make the grand distinction be tween the sterling liberal statesman, and the pert, prattling, Tory sophist. Lord ABINGER strove hard to neutralize the effect of the CHANCELLOR'S reasoning, but made sad work of it. One of his remarks, in particular, was singu larly infelicitous. " When," he observed, " they had con sented to the abolition of the Irish Corporations, they had passed the Rubicon." This allusion is, of course, to Caesar's passage of that river, and truly we never met with one better calculated to tell against the Conservatives. For what purpose did Caesar pass the Rubicon ? To en slave Rome! And what was the result of his attempt to enthrall his country? His own destruction. Let the party with whom Lord ABINGER acts, take care that their abolition of the Irish Corporations, which his Lordship aptly compares to Caesar's passage of the Rubicon, be not attended with the same fatal results. The river once passed, cannot be repassed with safety. Not a single argu ment do their Lordships urge against the Ministerial Bill, that does not convict them of the grossest incon sistency. It was but the other day that they objected to THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1836 the disfranchisement of the notoriously corrupt borough of Stafford ; yet now they are ready to disfranchise Irish Cor porations by the dozen. They can see no injustice in the latter case, but a world of injustice in the former. Then as respects agitation—they deprecate this in the strongest terms possible, yet at the same time task their utmost powers to increase it. Lord MELBOURNE well remarked, " If any thing were wanted more than another in Ireland, it was that kind of local aristocracy which Corporations alone could engender." But this sure and gradual rearing up an intelligent, respectable, and influential middle-class, which shall be a guarantee against the excesses of the lower, and the encroachments of the higher orders of society, their Lordships, in their wisdom, will not hear of. They are re solved that Ireland shall still continue to be the theatre of incessant agitation, because the instant she settles down into something like tranquillity, that instant the Tory authority over her is destroyed for ever. As for their argument, put forth with so much emphasis by their chief spokesman, Lord LYNDHURST, that the Minis terial Bill will be productive of constant excitement in the Sister Country, never was there one so fallacious and so easily rejected. PAT is not the boy to agitate two questions at _once. While busied with Corporate rights, he, will bend his whole faculties to the task, and not bother his head about others. Pass Mr. 0. LounnuN's Bill, and we shall hear no more talk about " Repeal ;" but pass Lord LYND HURST'S instead, and nothinc , else will be insisted on throughout the entire length and breadth of Ireland. 'Of a truth, their Lordship's are capital agitators, and of the most wholesale Destructive character. Last Session they did their best to convulse England. Now they must throw Ire land into hysterics. Possibly their next effort may be di rected against the Canadas, with a view to get up a clamour for Repeal there, as well as here. But again we say to them, beware. Irresponsible legislation is fast going out of favor with the people, who are becoming as anxious for Reform in the Lords, as ever they were for it in the Commons. It is not because the country is tranquil that it is indifferent to this vital question. Far otherwise. Its very tranquillity bespeaks its determination. Mr. CUTHBERT RIPPON last night moved a Resolution, purporting " that the attendance of the Bishops in Parlia ment is prejudicial to the cause of religion." The Hon. Member supported his motion by a speech which the oppo nents of the resolution found it easier to evade than to an swer. The pitiful attempt at a reply made by that knight errant of the Church, Mr. A. TREVOR, probably showed them the danger of entering into a discussion in which they had neither reason nor experience on their side. They, therefore, clamoured down the injudicious advocate of their cause, and wisely met the question with an unreasoning Due. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARM, APRIL 25. Five per Cents., 108 f. 108 f. 10e. sc.

Of the truth of the proposition comprehended in the Re solution there cannot be a doubt in the mind of any man who has a just notion of what the Christian religion is, or who has learned from history how much it has been de based and corrupted by its connection with worldly politics, a connection as revolting to its nature as repugnant to the objects which it has in view. Had it been the intention of the Divine Author of that religion to hold up earthly grandeur as an object of admiration and ambition to his followers—to recommend pomp and power as the only things needful to the perfection of the Christian life—we should not have been surprised to see the ministers of reli gion exalted to the highest dignities in the State, and taking their seats among the Princes of the earth, as they do now. But when we find that HE, whose precepts our ghostly overseers pretend to make the rule of their con duct, forbids his disciples to hanker after these worldly vanities which corrupt the heart, and commands them to set their affections entirely on things above—when, we say, we find this doctrine inculcated, not incidentally, but in almost every page of the New Testament, we arc, we confess, somewhat at a loss to conjecture by what arguments the Bishops of the Church of England can reconcile their posi tion with their duty. Nor is this difficulty in the least di minished when we turn our eyes to the practice of the Apostles. What, we ask, would have been said of St. PAUL—what progress would the Gospel have made under his ministry—what effect would his preaching have produced.—had he laid it down as a sine qua non that he must have a coach and six to ride in, a magnificent palace to live in, and 15,0001. a year to keep up his respectability ? Had St. PAUL acted thus, would he not have been denounced as the greatest enemy of the religion which lie pro fessed to propagate—as a hypocrite, preaching self denial to others while he indulged in all manner of luxury himself—and, finally, as a practical unbeliever, uninfluenced by any considerations but those of selfishness ? Most certainly he would, and deservedly too. We should like to know then where the successors of the Apostles find a dis pensation from the observance of the maxims which directed the views and animated the conduct of their great prototypes? Where do they find a warrant for neglecting their pastoral duties half the year, for the purpose of mixing themselves up with all the contentions of party politics which not only draw off their attentions from their spiritual concerns and secularize their feelings, but fill their sacred bosoms' with envy, hatred, strife, and all manner of wicked and worldly passions. This is evil—and evil of the worst kind. It not only brings obloquy and contempt upon the Church of England, but discredit upon the Christian religion in general, by furnishing its ene mies with arguments against it. Let the Bishops he confined to their proper• sphere, which is entirely spiritual, we are persuaded it is sufficiently ample for the full exercise of their abilities, and we are equally persuaded that the time Is not far distant when this will be accomplished. The'Paris Papers of Monday treat of nothing but the journey of the Dukes of OnLEANs and NEmouns to Ber lin and Vienna. The object of both is a matrimonial speculation. The Duke of ORLEANS will propose for the hand of a Princess of Austria—the daughter of the Arch duke CHARLES ; and NEMOURS will cast himself at the feet of the Princess of WIRTEMBURG, niece of the Em peror NICHOLAS. It is reported that the King of Pnus- SIA and the Emperor FERDINAND have expressed them selves delighted at the proposed visit of the French Princes. The honour of this triumph of French diplomacy is attributed by some to TALLEYRAND, by others to TRIERS. For our own part, we shall designate it by no name, till we know more about it. The accounts from the North of Spain are unimportant. Don CARLOS has nominated the Bishop of LEON Arch bishop of TOLEDO, and the POPE has confirmed the ap pointment ! The HoLY SEE is surely in its dotage. PARIS, APRIL 25. —The following are extracts from the Journals of the Frontier : " PERPIGNAN, APRIL 21.—The Es-Canon Batenero has arrived at Onate, wounded in the foot. " A great quantity of merchandise and provisions, brandy, wine, and salt cod, have been sent by way of Irun towards the mountains of Navarre. " It is reported that Gen. Cordova is to go to Pampeluna." We have the following letter from St. Sebastian of April 18 :—" Some days ago all the officers of the garrison were summoned to the Governor's, to be made acquainted with an important communication. Notice had been given to the Governor that there was a plan to burn St: Sebastian; that two foreign officers were to direct the bombardment, and that a great quantity of bombs and Congreve rockets had already been prepared for this purpose. In fact a deserter from the insurgents has confirmed this news. Hernani, he says, is full of ammunition, and a report is current among the Carlists that St. Sebastian will shortly be seriously attacked. In the following night a Council of War was held ; the members of the Junta of Arming and Defence,' and the chief officers of the artillery and engineers, were present. It was resolved : ‘, < 1. To make the news public, in order that the women, old men, and children may quit the city at the same time : all men from the age of 18 to 45 are prohibited from leaving the city. _ _ 2. To increase the company of bombardiers, and to order the commanders of corps to be prepared against all events.' " The article of the Moniteur, which confirmed ye s t er d ay t h e news of 'a journey of the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours to Germany, is more significant than it appears ; for it announces that the House of Orleans is at length admitted into the great family of the Continental Sovereigns. The marriage of the Prince Royal, says a Journal this morning, ought to meet with no obstacle after this.—Messager, April 25. Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 19th inst. have been received. On the 16th inst. a hostile meeting took place between Senors MEND IZABAL and I sTuRI; when, after an exchange of shots , the p arties shook h ands and left the ground as, if nothing ha d taken p lace t o disturb their long-cherished friendship. The President of th e C ounc il was attended by General SEOANI, and ISTURIZ by the Conde DE Las NAVAS. By the request of the Minister, the Press has abstained from commenting upon a transac tion which the laws of Spain place in the list of enormous crimes ; and for which, had the Holy Office still existed, the combatants,would have paid a heavy penalty. We know of no remnant of feudal barbarism more disgraceful to the inhabitants of Western Europe in the nineteenth cert• tury than this practice of duelling. It is even peculiarly so, when the combatants happen to be men well stricken in years, and filling stations in society which necessarily constitute them moral beacons, for the direction of those struggling to emerge from the vale of life by the rugged path of honourable ambition. The absurd affair between the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord WINCHILSEA gave a sort of ridiculous eclat to cabinet duelling throughout Europe. Ministers everywhere betook themselves to ex posing the tender points of their honour, with a view to display their firmness in demanding and insisting upon explanations and apologetical speeches, about the difference between the official and the personal capacity. Nevertheless a few more such exhibitions as the WELLINGTON and WINCHILSEA, the O'CONNELL and ALVANLEY, the BLACK and ROEBUCK, and the MENDIZABAL and ISTURIZ powder-puffings, will produce a re-action in the public mind, which will go far to abolish the practice of duelling altoge ther. And yet, on reflection, we doubt whether the world will discover a more harmless substitute for the reparation of wounded honour. Bullets, as is well known, have al together gone out of fashion—so that a man covered with in famy is now purified with the smell of gun-poWder. Gen tlemen repair their wounded honour, as dyers renovate old clothes—by fumigatiori On the 16th, the Address of the Procuradores was pre sented to the QUEEN ; after which the Chamber adjourned the 19th, when it was to meet to receive petitions. The Proceres met on the 18th to discuss the Address of their Lordships in answer to the Speech from the Throne. The principal speakers were the President of the Council, the Marquis de MIRAFLORES, the Duke de RIVAS, the Duke de VERAGUAS, the Bishop of ConDova, and Senor GARELLY. There is no doubt but that the Address will be carried without opposition. The speakers all were in favour of it, and only deplored, or recapitulated the disas ters and horrors of the civil war. The following list of the new Cabinet has been handed about in the political circles of Madrid : President of the Council and Finance Minister—Scnor Mendizabal. Minister of Grace and Justice—Senor Gonzalez (now Pre sident of the Chamber.) Minister of Marine and Colonies—Senor Ferrer. Minister of War—Senor Infante. Minister of Interior—Senor Olivan. Minister of Foreign Affairs—Brigadier Sancho. Since writing the above we have received letters from Madrid, to the 22nd inst. In consequence of a rumoured opposition about to take place in the House of Peers, against M. MENDIZABAL, Mr. VILLIERS waited on the QUEEN, who assured him that whatever attemptmight be made to displace the Minister, she had the utmost confi dence in his powers and integrity, and would support him against all the efforts of his enemies. The answer to the speech was unanimously agreed to in the Chamber of Proceres on the 19th, and on the following day they were to discuss it by articles.

The Eng lish Legion, which was at Vittoria, had received orders to pro ceed to that town, and, with the Spanish troops, their numbers will be 8,000 men. The garrison, consisting of 2,200 men, will join them, making in the whole 10,200, which are to oc cupy St. Sebastian and its environs. The first column of 1 1,500 were expected on the 20th inst. Six steam-vessels were at Santander to convey them. The French Algerine Legion were to occupy Berat, Irun, Oyarsun, and were to join the English Legion. Advices from Genoa of the 13th of April state, agents from the Hague and London of Don Carlos have made various pro posals to the Bankers there for a loan of thirty millions for Don Carlos, but they have not succeeded.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY). The LORD CnANcELLor was occupied the whole morning with the appeal Crawshay and Thornton, which appears likely to occupy the whole day. VICE-CHANCERY-.1--(THIS DAY.) His Honour the VICE-CIIANCELLOR took cause petitions ;o-day. - IN RE DEAN'S CLARK CIIARITY. His HONOUR in this case, which came - before the Court upon petition, .andin whieri the question was whether under the gift, the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's were entitled t o certain property, considered that he had not jurisdiction to de cidethe question upon petition, and therefore directed the parties to file an information. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) SOLITiIBY V. HUTT. In this case, which was part-heard yesterday, the bill was filed to enforce the specific performance of an agreement en tered into in May, 1833, for the purchase of an estate in Berk shire for the sum of 2001. The defence urged was, that the plaintiff not having .verified an abstract of the title, and not having procured the release cf a Conveyance which had been Made to a Mr. Robert Southby, the bill ought to be dismissed with costs. Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. PERRY appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. TINNEY and Mr. Powis for the defendant. _ _ The MASTER of the ROLLS said he should look through the correspondence before he gave judgment. KING'S BENCII.-(THIS DAY.) ATTENDANCE OF COUNSEL. At the sitting of the Court this morning, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL apologised for riot having been present yesterday when the case of Benton v. Peppercorn, in which he was concerned, was called on. Lord DEN MAN—WC have disposed of that case, Mr. Atorney. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL—I beg pardon of the Court, but I believe not, my Lord. Lord DENMAN—I read the whole of the evidence, and there was no counsel in attendance. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL —I believe, my Lord, according to the practice that has prevailed here, we are perfectly wil ling on the payment of costs— Lord DENMAN—There was some arrangement made yester day, but until we know whether that has been carried into ef fect or not, it is only wasting the time of the Court to talk about it. . The ATTORNEY-GENERAL again expressed his regret at not having been in attendance. Lord DENaIAN-It is impossible for us not to feel very strongly upon this matter. We understood that you were to attend the House of Lords. The House of Lords rose at 12, and this case was called on between one and two o'clock, and no counsel was present. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I was engaged in the discharge of a public duty, upon my honour. Lord DENMAN—I think the Court is entitled to some con sideration. Independently of the waste of the public time, there is some consideration due to us as individuals. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I can assure your Lordships that I am always most anxious to treat the Court with every respect. Lord DENMAN—We don't want respect—we want to have a proper attention paid to the discharge of the public business .in this Court, and it is very inconvenient to have our time af terwards wasted in discussions about the circumstances which have prevented the attendance of Counsel. Mr. PLATT felt it right to state to the Court, that although his name had been mentioned in the same case he was not en. gaged in it, or he should certainly have been in attendance. The Coma then took the case Wilson, Bart., v. Hoare and others, from the new trial paper. The circumstances related to the amount of fine which the trustees of the Wells Charity were legally entitled to pay to Sir Thomas Wilson, the Lord of the Manor of Hampstead, on the renewal of lives in a cer tain lease. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) STRONG V. DICKINSON. The defendant was brought , up upon habeas corpus, in order tole discharged. ' Mr. PLATT showed cause against the rule, which had been obtained upon an affidavit of the defendant, who stated that he was an attorney, and that on the 23d inst. he wa3 proceeding to the Courts at Westminster to attend the interests of several clients ; that on coming to the Bank he recollected that he had occasion to see a client at the Auction Mart; he pro ceeded there, and finished his business, and while just on the point of starting for Westminster, an officer came in and ar rested Milt. The Learned Gentleman said he had three affi davits in answer. They stated that the defendant had fre quently said that he never attended to the common law busi ness of his office ; that when the officer arrested him upon an execution for 4001. he said nothing about his being on his way to Westminster, on the contrary he said he was sorry that he had been taken, for he bad then been attempting to raise money upon his property for the purpose of paying off the debt ; and that he was arrested while sitting in a coffee-house. The other affidavit said that the defendant was seen by a person coming from the Excise-office, and that he went to the coffee-house in question without stopping, or being near the Bank. This was certainly upon a very different business from. attending to his client's interests, and even allow-. ing that his affidavit were true, still this was such a deviation as abrogated any Privilege which be had from the Court. It was impossible for the Court to grant the discharge upon an affidavit which did not state from what place he had started, or at what hour. Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW (with whom was Mr. LEE) argued that this was the privilege of the defendant's client, and could not betaken away upon such a small deviat ion as the on e in question. There was nothing in his Learned Friend's affi davits to contradict that of the defendants, and according to the precedents laid 'down in several cases which he cited, the defendant was clearly entitled \to his discharge. The Cower said the affid4vit of the defendant was too de fective for it to grant or order his discharge. As it neither set forth the place whence he ...started, nor the hour when, it would be perfectly consistent with the affidavit if he had started at 7 o'clock in the morning even from St. Margaret's parish, Westminster, with the intention of attending Court in the afternoon, yet have been attending his own concerns all the day. It would open the door of privilege if the Court were to act upon such an affidavit. Rule discharged. . . . . . COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) BRAYE V. NAPIER. This was originally an action for trespass, brought by the Plaintiff against Admiral Napier, for the selzure of a steam vessel belonging to the plaintiff. The defendant admitted in his plea that he did seize the ship, but he added that he did so, but under the authority of the Queen of Portugal, in whose service he was at the time, that the plaintiff's vessel had attempted to break through an effective blockade established along the coast of Portugal, of which the plaintiff had notice, and that it was in consequence of such attempt that the plaintiff's vessel was seized. To this the plaintiff put in a replication, on the ground that the defence, if good at all, duly proved that the defendant had acted in contravention of the Act of Parliament (the Foreign Enlistment Act) which stated that " if any na tural born subject of his Majesty shall, without the leave of his Majesty, serve in any capacity on board of a vessel of war in aid of a foreign Prince, every person so offending shall be guilty of a misdemeanour." And also, if any person shall furnish, fit out, or -arm any vessel of war, for any foreign power, &c., he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. It was also contended that, independent of the Foreign Enlist ment Act, the defendant, being himself a British subject, could not, by the law of nations, enforce a blockade against another party, who was also a British subject.

THE AUTHOR OF PELHAm.---The admirers (and who are not so?) of this distinguished writer, will be pleased to observe that his. celebrated novel of " Devereux" is to succeed Mr. Lister's," Granby," and form the next volume of that cheap - and popular pu bli c atiori—" Colburn',s: Modern Novelists." It has invariably been Mr. Bulwer's plan that each of his works should present a complete contrast to its predecessor ; and to effect this object, in the present case, he has resorted to the time of Bolingbroke ; and, among other distinguished personages, exhibits that great man in all Lis glory. The picture drawn by the novelist of this celebrated character is, perhaps, one of time most dramatic specimens ex tant of literary portraiture.
